The situation in Europe isn't quite as rosy. SEPA is a huge PITA, usability wise, and closer to US ACH transfers; and so most countries have their own special sauce online payment solution that serves as central point of failure for th

Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc. all offer current-gen "business" notebooks with 720p or 768p screens, to placate the penny pinching soulless big corporations.

I'm fairly sure Microsoft doesn't even have the ambition to make it profitable. Like Youtube for Google, or costco hotdogs, it's to get a foot in the door (or rather, customers' feet in your doors) to upsell people on al

"4 year old laptop" can mean anything from "8 cores, 64 GB RAM, dedicated GPU" to "720p display, 4GB RAM, dual-core". If Github for whatever reason punished its employees with the latter, well. Teams is not the

RLE doesn't really work for photos even at 8 bit depth, the noise is noticeable even there. It's mainly useful for drawn/rendered content, where solid colored areas are far more common. That won't be much different at 16

The physical layout, sure, but would it conceptually involve more than just defining twice as large chunk types for 16 bit channels? Unless I'm missing something, it should be fairly uncomplicated code-wise?

There's a lot, so I'll try to skim over it. The F-35 project started in 1993. It entered service in 2015. In that time frame, a lot of requirements changed, as technology advanced. So any talk about "changed rhetorics"
